    Webcam embed

    I am making personal info excel sheets for auditions where I will see about 100 people an hour and want to spped up the following processes

    I would like to click on a cell/button that would then show the live image from my webcam in a predetermined cell - presized. Then I need a second button (or click) to save an image from the cam into the cell so I can save the document.

    I am also looking for code that would save text from a specific cell as part of the document name i.e. 2008smith.xls, 2008jones.xls

    Thanks for your time.

    As far as i know you cannot control a webcam or camera as such from excel without knowing the control switches within the software for it, however, most camera software allows you to view live feed and "click" whenever you like to save that, you can then import that to excel when clicking a cell that contains the persons name!

    As for the save code:

    this will save the workbook as something like 10-2008 Jones.xls where Jones would be the value of A1 on the activesheet.
    Not all forums are the same - seek and you shall find
